Description
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. It can also be called chronic bronchitis or emphysema.
Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing. COPD gets worse over time and whilst there is no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Studies have shown that using a combination of inhaled medications may be more effective in reducing exacerbations, or flare-ups and improving lung function compared to using just one type of medicine.
What to expect
Momentum Clinical Research conducts research studies that test new potential treatments that aim to help achieve better outcomes for those affected by COPD. Register your interest now to find out if you are eligible to participate in this study and help develop potential new treatment options.
